my 2 cents: On June 2nd 2015 our file changed to "decision made". Clicking on it did not reveal any new information - it still said we were invited to take the test. June 15th 2015 - we got an invitation letter for ceremony. CIC phone rep said something like if it was rejected, the status...

FYI if anyone uses this as reference: Got ceremony date today, June 15 2015. In the meeting with the judge, she was very nice but professional. It turned out we submitted the application with only 1 extra day for me. Reason: when we did the calculation and saw I qualify, we waited a few weeks...

In my printed application, they only deducted 76.5 days, while the online calculation shows 106 days. If I manually calculate the days before PR as half days, it comes to exactly 76.5

Update: I can confirm days out of country while before the PR, do deduct 1/2 day and not full day. The days appear wrong in the total days in the table. I confirm in the calculation of my application they did calculate it correctly to take half days and not full days, so this appears to be a...

Oh, it is 4 years... I thought it was 5 years. :( Anyway, I hope for a positive answer on the half days. The judge also told me she can consider days since 4/14/2007 as an exception. So for me this solves it I hope.

Sorry... it is 4 years - which makes the online calculator correct... :| :(

I'm no genius, but I think there is a bug in the online calculator. put these dates in excel: Arrival date: 2004-08-10 Permanent residence date: 2009-02-08 Application date: 2011-02-15 It says you have 1643 days before PR, and 737 after PR. so, 737 + (1643/2) = 1558.5 in my excel. Wayyy more...

Hi Screech, thanks for replying! Do you have that written somewhere? The judge herself told me they should be counted as 1/2 days. Say you are in Canada 15 days before PR, and traveled 10 days out of them. Based on what you say, it will be calculated as: 15 / 2 = 7.5 days, minus 10 days = -3.5...

Hi guys, I think I stumbled upon a very critical bug in the online days calculator for citizenship. Can anyone here confirm? There are 3 dates in it, landed date, PR date and application date. Days before the PR give you 1/2 eligible day, and days after PR give you a full eligible day, correct...

Update: Got a letter, within just a few days of when I sent my documents. Saying they received my documents and that me and my wife are invited to meet with a judge to review our time in Canada. Should we hire a lawyer? Should we be worried or is this a good sign? We done nothing wrong, and we...

Sent, printed 320 pages + some originals they required. Printing and shipping set me back about 150$, I just hope this is the last one...

An update, this one is really strange... We got another request for more documentary evidence... (got 1 before our test, another at the day of our test after we passed, a third one after our test - which makes this one the 4th). This one had the correct file number and our names, but the wrong...

Oh, we already had 3 RQs, We had two before our test. After our test - the officer said she approves our application - but after a couple of months we got a note it was sent to a different officer and he requested more information. I'm guessing that's after a judge reviewed it, but can't be sure...

Woot! Hope that's the case. I'll drop a line if and when we get it for others in the same status...

Hey, Got this response from my MP office: "the officer logged information being received on November 19, 2014 and the file was then referred to a judge for decision" Is this good news, or bad news? This is after we passed the test and were asked for more documentation back in July. Anyone...
